For several years there was a post-it attached to my desk, in which was a drawing of an unclear drawing of a character far away at the sea, under which I had written “People on Their Islands”. When, in the beginning of 2014, I started to plan about my exhibition in Galerie Pleiku in Berlin, my first two ideas were crashed. I was sitting next to my desk mind blank, when my eyes catched the post-it – and the images just suddenly were born in my mind. I was about to make series of ten pictures. The very first four pictures of “Where the Wind Stopped” series were finished in very short time, the following three in a few months time after that, and the last three pictures were made in the end of 2015 and in the beginning of 2016.

There is also a “sister-series” to this Where the Wind Stopped series. The pictures in this series are smaller and more colourful, and I had started to make the first two images already ten years ago. Now I continued also this series – and named it People on Their Islands.
